Simple question - how I can I extract PVD info from IBM PC discs ? Disc Image Creator will do this for me ?

At the moment I don't have access to my plextor (moved into PC at my work) so I can't test DIC.

Sector 16, offset 320-370 in isobuster.
Newest DIC puts PVD to one of the log files.

Well, and I still don't know where this PVD data is in this DIC mess hmm
Exact location, please ?

EDIT. Ok but what exactly I should put there to validate data?

Example for interstate '76 install disc:

If you can attach all DIC files to your posts (exclude all large files: *.bin, *.img, *.scm and *_sub.txt)

If you use the best compression rate your archives will be like 2 MB at max.

You can get the Error Count by using CDmage, open the cue file, then highlight Track 1 located under Session 1, and hit 'Scan for Corruption'.
